"Hey I ran out of Codex tokens." "Well, you can still do your job, yeah?" "[Sigh] Yeah, but I'm going to have to burn more tokens to bring the agents up to speed afterwards."

Out at the store today I saw a deadhead sticker on a shopping bag A little voice inside my head said: "I forgot to bring a reusable bag."

The Black Tambourine comparison is less of a 1:1 and more of a rhyme in my mind, and it's remarkably on-target. The two sneak peek tracks are as tantalizing of the larger work as much as they stand solidly on their own sub-two-minute feet. Yes, very anticipate, much waiting, so thrill, wow.

Pretty psyched about the new Helen album, loved the last one. It always tickles me when a band gets (sometimes) compared to Black Tambourine. Unless they're mean about it, ha ha. grouper.bandcamp.com/album/lindas...

Super nice, wide-ranging interview and album walk-through with Railcard's Rachel Love. ‘...some of the songs ...there’s been an accident of some sort where I tried to transpose things, it’s gone off, and I think, ‘Ooh, that’s not what I meant, but that’s quite good!’ writewyattuk.com/2026/09/29/j...

I use Claude to proofread my work for structure, sensibility, repetition, spelling, and grammar, and it does well at capturing basic problems. But it's got nothing on my human writing accountability partner, Lynn, as this post-Claude feedback shows.

A while back Nnacy found a volume of 'Texas Songster' by #ManceLipscomb on vinyl, and I was instantly hooked. Wasn't expecting to find any of his CDs at Amoeba, let alone this out of print reissue of his second album, but here we are.

A CD in a clear jewel case for Mance Lipscomb’s album "Trouble in Mind," resting on a "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King" mousepad. The album cover features a black-and-white photograph of the blues musician wearing a hat and playing an acoustic guitar. The case has several stickers on it, including an orange "Out of Print" label, a yellow Amoeba Music price tag for $24.99, and a white sticker that says "As Seen on the Internet" with a retro computer graphic.

For the weekly music thoughts this week, a little something for the #shoegaze heads: my 1996 interview with Kevin Shields. The transcript's been around forever, but here's the actual audio of the whole thing (along with a slightly annotated transcript in turn). Attn @catbus.phd et al!
